I will praise him as much as I like.

Nice game by Luke but the game ball goes to Space Cadet.

The defining moment of the game, Vlad grabs the rebound off a DJ miss and put back slam!

DOn't f@#k with Radman now.

School? Most of you guys here in college? By the way good game but the Sonics actually had me scared a little.

It is my Dubz that you need to be worrying about. No Bynum and no Gasol equals two easy victory for us hopefully.

Thanks good phil, good to support the players..

Honestly I've been a Luke fan even when he played bad. I thought his intangibles, passing, basketball IQ were all positives. Last year his play was consistent and he in my eyes established himself as a veteran leader on the ball club.

I don't know why or what has turned me against Luke. Maybe I realized this team just lapped him in the athletic race. Or maybe it was because he's a soft player who when contained offensively, doesn't bring anything more to the table. I can't count how many times he's posted up his defender only to have his shot blocked, maybe it's just me but it's getting really old.

As I stated in my praise for the SEA game.. he needs to step it up. He has had an off year. The point is, you have to put it into context. He has been hurt this year, that impacted his game shape. But even beyond that, his role has changed , because he is not 'needed' as much to faciliate the offense where he shined last year.

He still is the same player, he just needs to find his new role on this team, if he can.. he can help. Its not like we are relying on him to carry the load. Smart role players will help us in the long run.
